For diabetes, you'd want to have a general physician as well as an endocrinologist. If you're diabetes isn't too bad, a general physician should be alright. If you have complications, you'll definitely need an endocrinologist. It also sounds like you might need a podiatrist to help with the feet problems and you'll need to see an eye doctor on a regular basis. If I were you, I'd go to a general physician first and get his recommendation. Check the phone book for doctors, and when you call up for an appointment, just be sure that they take Medicare.
